Effect
The alternator starts up and its
voltage is still correct when the
battery is removed.
The alternator starts up but its
voltage does not reach the rated
value when the battery is
removed.
The alternator starts up but its
voltage disappears when the
battery is removed
Correct speed
Speed too low
Adjustment ineffective
The voltage does not return to the
rated value
Warning: after setting-up or trouble-
shooting, replace all access panels or
covers.

Check/cause
- Lack of residual magnetism
- Check the connection of the voltage
reference to the A.V.R.
- Faulty diodes
- Induced short circuit
- Faulty A.V.R.
- Exciter field short-circuited
- Short-circuit in the main field. Check the
resistance
Check the A.V.R. connections (A.V.R. may
be faulty)
- Field windings short-circuited
- Rotating diodes burnt out
- Main field winding short-circuited
- Check the resistance
Increase the drive speed
(Do not touch the A.V.R. pot (P1) before
returning to the correct speed.)
- Faulty A.V.R.
- 1 faulty diode
- Check the speed: possibility of cyclic
irregularity
- Loose terminals
- Faulty A.V.R.
- Speed too low on load
(or U/F gradient set too high)
- Check the speed (or U/F gradient set too
high)
- Faulty rotating diodes
- Short-circuit in the main field. Check the
resistance
- Faulty induced excitaion
- Exciter winding open circuit
- Faulty induced excitation
- Faulty A.V.R.
- Main field open circuit or short-circuited
